I did this with two of my rotary cutters. "smile" My daughter straightened me out. Putting on two blades has happened once only. I couldn't cut anything. It almost perforated the cloth, but absolutely wouldn't cut.

Cutters do wear out, so that could be the problem. Also, what surface is your mat sitting on? If it's not flat, smooth and solid, it will make the mat grab the blade more. I don't like cutting on some long plastic tables because of this.

One other thought... Not all blades will fit in all cutters. You need a Fiskars blade for a Fiskars cutter, an Olfa blade for an Olfa cutter, etc. The center holes can be different -- some with slots, some without.
An interesting observation we've come across at the quilt shop, is that if you have a granite counter top under your mat, your blade will wear out really fast. It doesn't make any sense, but we've seen it a few times.
